For two years I will be preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and serving the people in the area of the Salt Lake City East Mission! My mother has volunteered to post my letters and pictures on this blog so you can follow me. I have been preparing for my mission for 18 years by exercising faith and building a testimony of my Savior Jesus Christ and His amazing Gospel. Please email or write me if you have any questions or just want to talk!

"It's Good To Know Things Haven't Changed"

It was so cool to see you guys yesterday!!! You
really don't feel far away at all. Preston you are still a punk! Becca you are
still cool! Dad you are still cheesy!! Mom you are still worried about my
driving... It's good to know things haven't changed! Dad I can't wait to get
home and help you with all that! I will totally work for you that would be sweet.
The reason that I was asking about my cactus is because I hadn't heard anything
about them. (It's true that that wouldn't be the hottest topic I guess)
whatever! Hey, still send me a picture of the garden soon!

Elder John has been teaching me some Pidgin and
it's super fun! Here are some phrases!

"Olympus Zone Meeting"

I love languages! They are so cool. I keep asking
President to put me in a Spanish program! I need to pray harder I guess! This
week has been so super good. Elder Soleberg is awesome! We get along so well.
It's weird how fast we were like best friends. We have had a few dinner
appointments and some west missionaries that have been super surprised when we
have said we have been together for a few days. Hahah! We have pretend
arguments where people can see like Shawn and Gus when we have to make a
decision and then we come back with the answer all collected and stuff. (Don't
worry people know we are joking)

"Elder Boren is dead (gone Home) :( "

We had a miracle this week and his name is Daniel.
Some Elders in the zone had someone calling them that was living in the
Sister’s area but wanted to have his friend taught by Elders. The guy wanted
the Assistants number but we had them give him our number first! It turned out
that his friend was YSA (young single adult) and was being fellowshipped into the Holliday ward! We
had a sweet lesson with him and he is preparing to be baptized on the 28th of
this month!

We also had a tender mercy when we had something
come up on Tuesday so we had to reschedule a lesson with Jonathan at temple
square for Wednesday. Wednesday, we had a mission meeting that we had spaced,
and so when we realized we had the meeting, we already had our suits in the car
and we were really close to the mission office. Our Heavenly Father had our
back and he has all of ours!! I love all of you!
